Where I purchased it:
I got this at a very discounted price of $2 at Ollies
In color 4 (sand)

For reference I am an NC30 Mac Studio Fix Powder.

Price: $55 (price varies)

Product Size: 1.3oz


Packaging:
Has a convenient built in foundation brush applicator. The brush is soft and well made. It is pretty dense and is a square flat shaped.

I wish this came in a pump bottle. I find this bottle very inconvenient, since it is hard to control the amount of foundation that dispenses from the bottle. The brush also leaves streaks after application and isn't very sanitary.



Product Review:
Product dries fairly quickly with a powder matte finish. It doesn't feel heavy or tacky like some foundations. There is a slight sweet fresh fragrant, but not over powering and it doesn't linger once applied. The foundation is a liquid medium consistency and glides on smoothy. This is a light to medium coverage.

How I apply it:
At first I tried to apply it with the build in brush, but it left my skin looking streaky and it was hard for me to apply the foundation on smoothly. Personally, I prefer using my fingers to apply it on my skin. I find this more effective and it gives me a flawless, smooth looking skin.

This doesn't feel heavy on my skin, it is really light I don't feel like I am wearing any makeup. My skin can breathe and it doesn't fill suffocated.


Side Note:
To open it just twist it so that the "O" matches the "N" for  "On. To turn it off twist the "O" to "FF" for "OFF". It spills out easy if you don't turn it off when not in use.

Would I repurchase?
Maybe, if only the price was more affordable and if the YSL change their packaging.

Pros: great foundation for light to medium coverage.
Cons: expensive and needs better packaging so there won't be so much product waste. I would like it better if this was packaged in a squeeze bottle with no brush attachment.
